update and questions on sm465 swap!

[chevyguybc]

well getting closer to finishing the swap, still need clutch, input bearing, and flywheel...

and motor rebuilt, but thats another storyhttp://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p90/chevyguybc/truck3.jpg?t=1165272934

anyways heres some pics,

now i need the measurement of the hole in the floor where the clutch rod goes through...

also my frame seems to have a different style manual bracket on it then what i got with the 78 tranny. weird eh... maybe a earlier frame?


and the heart of the operation,

its a 220volt, 20 gallon, pumps 10.8@90cfm.... picked up all the tools and compressor for less then 300 bucks, including impact sockets!!



lots of work to go!!

i used to own a 77 shortbox , 4 inch susp , 3 inch body, 350, sm465 205

i missed it so much so i put it in my 77 jimmy i hve had for ayear.

this is my baby, i wanted the shorter wheelbase for wheeling, and I can sleep in the back while camping!!

OK, from the left side wall (under the park brake pedal) to the center of the hole is 13 3/4". From the joint where the floor meets the firewall the center of the hole is 1 1/2" down. The hole itself is 2" in diameter.
